I love this quote and wanted to make it artful to hang in my classroom. You can print it from Google Docs here if you like it too.
It comes from Neil Gaiman's blog.
The backgrounds are from Be Artless, and the fonts are skinny jeans solid and lemon chicken.

I love Pinterest! Each time I visit, which is daily, I find something that inspires me. Eventually, I follow the links to things I purchase or download, or I recreate them. Today was a recreate day. A while ago, I pinned this pin. It originally came from There's a Dragon in My Art Room. However, I am way too critical of myself to feel like I could hand-draw something similar. So, I hoped on my trusty computer and made something similar. I slightly changed the scoring and expectations to reflect my classroom. The best part for me is that I am working on improving a specific strand of our model of instruction, which is feedback. Our district asks us to ask ourselves "What will I do to communicate learning goals, communicate high expectations,
track progress, celebrate success?" Hanging this in the room and discussing it is part of how I plan to improve in this area this year.
The background graphics are from Be Artless.

I am having it enlarged and printed at Staples. Hope this helps or inspires.
If you would like to print it, I have loaded it as a Google Doc here.

About Me

I was a 4th grade teacher, but I am moving to 8th grade language arts next year. I am also mother to an amazing kiddo dual diagnosed as high functioning Autistic and gifted, who is in high school. I've been married to my best friend for almost 22 years. Although I am a teacher, I am also a life-long learner, and I adore reading and writing as much as I adore teaching them. I get excited by new ideas and creative thinking, which is why I keep this blog and am often found on Pinterest!
